The Daily Word
enlighten - verb - to give greater knowledge
Inside “enlighten” is the word “light.” When I think of “light,” or “to light,” to illuminate and brighten come to mind. At this very moment, I am gazing out of my window, mesmerized by the white light of snowflakes, like a brilliant storm of confetti, scurrying, dancing through the air. Nature can be enlightening because it provokes curiosity, which is the impetus to higher knowledge. True enlightenment comes when the light of reason begins to burn within the mind of the individual.
Yet enlightenment also embraces understanding, the knowledge that one has limited control over the universe. On this Super Bowl Sunday, I am reminded of my limitations and realize that there is wisdom (enlightenment) in simple words, such as “Let Go and Let God.” No matter what you believe spiritually, believe that there is love from a greater source, a greater good. Trust that this path that we travel will lead us to a positive end.
